Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon (KWNP) is an ipsilateral motor weakness due to compression of the contralateral cerebral peduncle. Most of the KWNP cases reported have been due to subdural hematomas, intracranial space-occupying lesions, and spontaneous bleeding of vascular malformations. In this study, we present the first pediatric case of KWNP caused by a traumatic epidural hematoma. Although subdural hematomas are the most frequent reason for KWNP, epidural hematomas may cause paradoxical ipsilateral signs not only in adults but also in pediatric patients.

In this technical report, we discuss the design and production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) implants, which we successfully applied in two patients using silicone molds, and a retrospective review of these patients at 1- and 6-month intervals. By using open-source computer-assisted design software, three-dimensional printers, and the patient's thin-sliced computed tomography data, we designed and produced the implant template and used it to make silicone rubber mоlds for intraoperative PMMA casting with good results. As a negative of the implant, we created a silicon mold, which can be autoclaved.Two patients underwent PMMA cranioplasty using this method. Both implants were fitted into the defect without manipulation and good aesthetic аppеаrance of all patients was achieved. At follow-up 1 and 6 months after the operation, no complication was noted and the patients tolerated the cranioplasty platе wеll.

Journal of Cellular Neuroscience and Oxidative Stress is an online journal that publishes original research articles, reviews and short reviews on the molecular basis of biophysical, physiological and pharmacological processes that regulate cellular function, and the control or alteration of these processes by the action of receptors, neurotransmitters, second messengers, cation, anions, drugs or disease. Areas of particular interest are four topics. They are; A-Ion Channels (Na +-K + Channels, Clchannels, Ca 2+ channels, ADP-Ribose and metabolism of NAD of 4
